Role in furthering the NAC Mission

Our mission is to present literary works of merit to the membership and to the general public through readings and discussions with authors, panel discussions on literary subjects of interest and by introducing promising new authors. Our twice monthly events are free and open to the public, and unless otherwise noted, begin at 8pm in the Grand Gallery of The National Arts Club.

Since 1968, the Committee has recommended distinguished authors to the Board of Governors for the prestigious Medal of Honor for Literature. Past recipients of this award include most of the major literary figures of the 20th and 21st centuries.
